IVC Filter
Have You Been Injured After Receiving an IVC Filter?
If you or a loved one has suffered harm after receiving an IVC filter, you may be feeling overwhelmed, scared, and uncertain about what to do next. It’s natural to feel this way, but you don’t have to face this alone. As a personal injury attorney, I understand how devastating it can be to experience an injury or illness due to a defective medical device. That’s why I’m here to help you fight for justice and hold those responsible accountable for the harm they caused.
What Is the Lawsuit About?
An Inferior Vena Cava or IVC Filter is a device made to stop blood clots from going up into the lungs. It is implanted with a brief surgery and meant to prevent pulmonary embolism, which is a serious condition. IVC filter recipients who suffered major complications such as filter migration, embolization, or fracture are suing manufacturers of the device for knowingly selling and marketing the IVC filters to doctors and patients without properly warning them of the true risks associated with its use. IVC filters were originally designed to be removed once their job was completed. Manufacturers demanded the device to be labeled as permanent despite the FDA’s recommendation that it must not be left in place for longer than 54 days or damage may occur. Such demand resulted in complications that could have been prevented.
Why Would I Qualify For This Lawsuit?
If Any of the Questions Below Apply To You, You May Qualify:
- Did you undergo a surgical procedure that required the implantation of an IVC filter?
- Was the IVC filter you received manufactured by Bard, Cook Medical, or Boston Scientific/Greenfield (among others?)
- Did you suffer severe complications that required medical treatment?
- Have you had to undergo additional surgeries to remove the device?
- Are you dealing with pain, suffering, and economic damages?
